Chapter 216

“Mrs. Morgan is so elegant!”

“I knew it, Liam is doing so well now, how could he not afford two million!”

“Mrs. Morgan clearly values art; only someone who truly appreciates art would spend that much to buy this item!”

Hearing the compliments from everyone, Lena didn’t feel happy at all.

She turned to look at Sophie, “My item has been won. Are you really planning to shamelessly renege?”

“Sophie, it’s not scary that you don’t have money, but what’s scary is that you’re willing to disregard the Chandler family’s reputation.”

“Who says I don’t have money?”

Sophie smiled and casually handed over her ID and check.

“The item you just bid on is mine. Please withdraw the two million from it and use it to pay.”

The room fell silent for a moment.

When everyone realized what just happened, they stared in shock at Lena.

The slap in the face came too quickly!

Lena spent two million on a rock, while Sophie spent only three hundred thousand to buy a piece from the Royal Museum’s collection!

The difference, the taste…

People didn’t dare say anything, considering Lena’s status, but their eyes said everything.

Lena’s smile froze, and she cried out in disbelief.

“This can’t be! How could that rock possibly be your work?”

Sophie grinned, “It’s something I casually made years ago, and after being passed around, it finally ended up here at the auction.”

“This thing is actually worthless. It’s only because of the rising value of Wild River that it was able to fetch a price of four hundred thousand.”

“But I didn’t expect your taste in art to be so high, willing to pay two million for a piece of rock.”

Sophie slowly nodded at Lena, “Thank you so much for your admiration, Mrs. Morgan

Lena’s face turned pale, then flushed with anger.

Just then, the staff brought over her item, and in her fury, Lena grabbed the bracelet and slammed it onto the floor.

Clink!

The room went silent!

Things happened too quickly for anyone to react.

“Two million down the drain.”

Sophie casually added, her tone clearly mocking.

Everyone’s gaze shifted towards Lena.

Although the rock wasn’t worth much, as Wild River’s value increased, it could still be sold for a decent price, especially if it was to a fag of Wild Elser

But now, with Lena’s outburst, everything was ruined.

Even though Marcus was now highly favored by Old Master Morgan, two million was still no small sum.

To destroy it publicly like this was such a waste!

Lena’s tantrum didn’t make her look rich, but instead exposed her lack of refinement!

Lena, feeling the change in people’s gazes, gritted her teeth, her eyes bloodshot from anger.

It was all Sophie’s fault! If it weren’t for her, how could Lena have made such a huge fool of herself?

“Stop her! Don’t let her leave today!”

Lena ordered, and her bodyguards immediately surrounded Sophie.

Sophie stood quietly, expressionless, watching everything unfold.

When Lena’s bodyguards had fully surrounded her, Sophie slowly spoke.

“Lena, you don’t know that auction houses have many top–level security guards to prevent troublemakers, do you?”

“At the auction, you can’t do anything to me.”

As soon as Sophie finished speaking, Mr. King, the owner of the auction house, rushed out with two teams of bodyguards.

Mr. King was a burly man, wearing a gold chain the size of a thumb around his neck.

He strode forward, glancing at Lena’s bodyguards.

“These people aren’t even good enough to warm up for my men. If you know what’s good for you, get out of here!”

Lena stepped forward, coldly sneering at Mr. King.

“Do you know who I am?”

Mr. King’s eyes flashed with sarcasm. “Miss, don’t think that just because people call you Mrs. Morgan, you can act like you matter.”

“Liam and Miss Chandler were engaged once, but didn’t they break it off in the end? Not to mention, Liam has never acknowledged you in public. It’s better for you not to flaunt that title.”

“You insolent fool!”

Lena yelled, her voice low with fury. “I’m carrying Liam’s only child! If you dare touch me, do you believe Liam will fire you on the spot?”

Mr. King looked taken aback, his expression stiffening for a moment.

Lena continued, “Mr. King, don’t forget that this auction house is under the Morgan Group. My brother, Liam, is now one of the biggest shareholders in the Morgan Group. Don’t forget who your real boss is!”

“Don’t think for a second that I’m just trying to stop someone today. If I want to make a move on her, you better consider if you even have the right to stop me!”

With that, Mr. King immediately backed down.

He gave a slight bow to Lena, smiling awkwardly. “Mrs. Morgan, I’ve overstepped. I’m sorry, I’ll have my then step down right away
